The Walk: A Devotional Podcast from Worship Leader Magazine

🎧 The Walk Podcast: "Nothing is Wasted" with Sinmidele In this powerful episode of The Walk, Worship Leader Magazine’s Joshua Swanson sits down with Nigerian singer-songwriter Sinmidele to explore a profound truth: nothing in God’s hands is wasted. From her journey as a microbiology student in Wales to an unexpected detour that led her back to Nigeria, Sinmidele shares how God used what seemed like failure to reshape her purpose and draw her closer to Him. With biblical wisdom and heartfelt honesty, she reminds us that every setback, every challenge, and every waiting season is part of God’s bigger plan. Sinmidele’s reflections on John 6:12—where Jesus gathers the leftovers after feeding the five thousand—serve as a beautiful reminder that God repurposes every experience for His glory and our good. Whether you’re in a season of waiting or wrestling with uncertainty, this episode will inspire you to trust God’s perfect timing. We also close with Sinmidele’s latest single, "Heaven on Earth", a worshipful anthem that captures the beauty of God’s presence in our lives. 🌍 This episode is part of a special international series, featuring artists from France, Norway, and Nigeria.
